Fun in the Sun Beach Day!

Yesterday I was able to go to the beach! This has to probably be the best part about Sydney because even in February I am able to catch some sun. I love having a summer during the winter months! The beach wasn't like anything I have experienced in North Carolina it had more of a tropical feel with giant rocks coming out of the water and waves crashing against the pile of rocks. It honestly kind of reminded me of the scene from The Little Mermaid when she jumps out of the water onto the rock and the waves crash behind her. So basically I am living in a Disney movie.

The water was extremely cold which I thought was weird and since the beach wasn't too hot (it had a nice breeze going on) I didn't feel the need to go in the water. Overall I would give the beach an A+ for it's scenery and great weather.

One thing I have found here which seems to be very popular in Australia are pies. Not apple or cherry but actually meat pies. So the other night I had a classic beef pie topped with mash potatoes and I must admit it was really good! It was like an entire meal all in a little box. You can top it with peas as well which I heard makes it even yummier so I know I will have to try that. I hope soon to go on a Coastal Walk and on Friday I plan to visit the Zoo! As you can tell I am very excited!
Love,
Ashley
